Hi Guys!

In the conclusion to installing the Mosfet, I also do some upgrades that I felt was necessary to make this printer safe to use when not attending it 24 hours a day.  Part of filming videos for YouTube is leaving a printer to print while I am away all day or all night.  The last thing I need is to come home to a smoldering house.  

So I decided to hardwire both the Mosfet trigger wires and the power wires to the main board in order to eliminate the sub par connectors.

Since doing this upgrade I have printed over 30 hours on this printer with no issues at all.  The wires and external Mosfet run ice cold.  It is now a printer that I trust and do let print day and night unattended. 

Thank you very much for watching!!!
